Oh I am so uninspired today. So totally uninspired. Even the bright zinnias I bought at the farmer’s market did not enliven any creativity. But, ah! Farmer’s market! That’s because it is day 3 of my Eat Like an Adult effort. This is an attempt to stop getting deathly sick every 3 months. Hoping a few more vegetables and a little less licorice might motivate my immune system from its current death slump. I also ordered the vitamins you recommended, Hads.
Kelly, I loved your post today about 10 things you had learned in 1o days. Made me think what – if anything – I have learned in the last 10 days. Not sure there are 10. In fact these are less learnings and more random musings, and sadly much less wise and thoughtful than yours, Kelly!
1. A week in bed is definitely not all bad. I did not feel bored at all. I also did not make any substantial dent in The Stack, sadly enough (no, immune system and universe, I am not asking for yet another retreat-into-bed illness).
2. It is both possible and really, really lovely to reconnect with an old friend after some years of ebb tide. A true friend is one where you can jump right back in.
3. Brie + guacamole + sauvignon blanc = a balanced dinner.
4. I have no idea what I think about the H1N1 vaccine and the mercury and the rushing the whole thing to market. I do not know what to do re: the children and welcome any and all input. I’ve never gotten them even regular flu shots as my pediatrician has always generally convinced me not to, but this year he has changed his tune so they will get those. But the swine flu specific one? My gut is saying no.
5. I am relearning and rediscovering my passion for Planned Parenthood through agreeing to co-chair the annual Cambridge house party. I really do dig that organization and everyone I’ve met who is involved. I’m honored to co-chair though as usual tremendously uncomfortable asking for money.
6. 3 weekends in a row away from home = 2 too many
7. I will not be running the BAA 1/2 marathon on October 11th. Very sad. In fact I wonder when I will ever run again. I’m still coughing a little and generally feeling exhausted.
Seven. Random. All I’ve got today.
